(Minghui.org) All my illnesses disappeared not long after I started to practice Falun Dafa. Every day, I study the Fa and make truth-clarification materials with other practitioners. I practice all five of the exercises by myself at night. Time passed quickly, and my life has settled into a good rhythm and is fulfilling.
In 2013, I went out to clarify the truth to people for the first time. I walked into a gated community and saw a young man chatting with an elderly man sitting on a stone bench. I went up to say hi and handed them some booklets about Falun Dafa. The elderly man didn’t say anything, but the young man grabbed my hand and said, “I’ve been waiting for you people for several days, and you finally came. You can’t leave now; I’ll call the police to arrest you!”
I said, “Young man, don’t do that. It’s not good for you!” He picked up the phone and started calling. I had one thought, “The call will not go through!” It indeed did not connect. Just then, another man came out of the building to dispose of trash. The young man said to him, “Call the police station quickly. This woman practices Falun Gong!” I again blurted out, “Don’t listen to him. It will not be good for you!” The man didn’t listen to me and took out his phone to call the police.
Two officers arrived and took me to the police station. Because my home was a truth-clarification materials production site as well as a place for Fa study, I did not answer their questions, regardless of what they asked. I held only one thought in my mind: “No matter how hard you try, I will not let you find my home.”
“You’ll Leave Yourself No Way Out!”
An hour later, the person who reported me called the police station and asked for the reward for reporting me. The police chief said, “The government has not given us this funding, and our police station does not have the money.” By noon, they realized they could not get anything from me, so they let me go.
As I pushed my bike out of the police station, with a hint from Master, I turned to look behind me and saw a young man riding a bike. He noticed me looking at him and immediately lowered his head. When I looked back for a second time, he again lowered his head. I was sure that he was following me, so I rode my bike to a second-hand market, which was in a yard with a dead end, and I waited for the young man. He came in and blurted out, “There’s no way out!” Making a pun, I said to him, “Don’t follow me. You’ll leave yourself no way out!” He turned around and walked out of the yard, while talking on his phone.
When I walked out, I met a police officer at the gate. He said to me, “What are you doing here?” I replied, “Don’t follow me, it’s not good for you!” But he would not leave. When I got on my bike and rode to another market, he was following me on his bike, and when I stopped, he also stopped. I thought of Master, “Master, please help me. Let me fly away.” I got on my bike and pedaled hard, which really seemed like I was flying, and I got rid of him easily. I felt that Master was by my side protecting me and helping me get through the tribulation. Thank you, Master!
A fellow practitioner, Lan, had previously been arrested by the police. After many practitioners sued former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Jiang Zemin in 2015, the police were searching everywhere for us. Lan said to me, “The police called me and asked where I live. I didn’t tell them, but just made up an address.”
I replied, “That was not the purpose of their call. Your phone is now being monitored. Master has warned us about this. Yet you’re still going around to other practitioners’ homes while carrying your phone. Please do not come to my home with your phone again. We must listen to what Master says!” But she explained that her dad was by himself, and she needed to be able to answer his calls. Moreover, she was on call if something came up at work. Six months later, she was arrested again, and many other practitioners were implicated, including me.
Facing the Police With Righteous Thoughts
On September 19, 2019, about half an hour after Lan left my home, a community worker and three police officers came over. They ransacked my house and confiscated the paper money bills worth of thousands of yuan with messages about Falun Dafa printed on them. They also confiscated Dafa books, and various other truth-clarification materials. At this critical moment, I thought of Master and begged Master to help. I then heard a voice in my ears saying, “Clarify the truth!” I understood that it was Master giving me a hint; Master was right next to me.
An officer asked for my name, and I told him. He recognized me and said, “You were one of the people who sued Jiang. How dare you sue the former CCP leader?” I replied, “He started the persecution that prevents practitioners from becoming better people, so I sued him!” He picked up a CD and asked me, “Where did you get these things?” “I can’t tell you,” I replied. He asked why not. I said, “Dafa’s Master told us, ‘Let me tell you, every person in the entire world was at one point part of my family...’ (Teachings Given on Lantern Festival Day, 2003)” I continued, “Master’s family members are my family. How could I harm my own family members? If I tell you where these came from, you will go and arrest Dafa disciples and will have committed even greater crimes. How could you still be saved?” He didn’t know what to say and left. From then on, he never asked about the source of our materials again.
In 2017, my area was getting renovated, and there were many workers from remote villages doing road construction. It was a great opportunity to clarify the truth to them. I went out every day with other practitioners to talk to these people. Someone reported us, and four officers took us to the police station. When we arrived at the gate of the station, an officer who had rented my home recognized me. “Auntie,” he said, “how come you’re here? What can I do for you?” I said, “Do you think I’m a good person or a bad person?” He said I was a good person. “Then you should handle this situation with that in mind.”
The police chief, who was also the director of the 610 Office, walked in and said, “What? You again?! I have told you to just practice at home. Why do you go out to talk about it?” I replied it was my mission. He said, “You tell people to quit the CCP. What does that really mean?”
I felt that I must help him completely understand this: “Let me tell you why quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations will keep you safe and save your life,” I began. “Falun Dafa is a high level Buddhist practice. It was introduced by Li Hongzhi from Changchun City in May 1992. In just seven years, there were an estimated 100 million people practicing it. They gained great health and became better people. But Jiang Zemin was jealous when he saw the growing popularity of the practice. On July 20, 1999, he used his power to launch this unprecedented, cruelest, and most evil persecution. He even said arrogantly, ‘We will eradicate Falun Gong in three months!’ At that moment, Heaven determined that the CCP would be eliminated. Jiang used all the CCP’s power to slander and smear Falun Dafa. Its members are all part of these crimes and will be included in the elimination. However, Gods and Buddhas are compassionate to people. As long as members of the CCP and its affiliates are willing to quit the CCP, they will be safe. This is an opportunity from Heaven for people to be saved.”
The officer asked, “How many years did you attend school?” I replied, “Not many, only 12 years.” He laughed, “All your studying went into a dog’s stomach.” I just smiled. “Dafa’s Master taught us to be good people based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance,” I replied. “We should not fight back when beaten, and we should not talk back when verbally abused.” I then said loudly and proudly, “Master, I can do it!” I saw the officer shivering, and he immediately stood up and left.
When the CCP started the “Zero-out” campaign, the police went to all the practitioners’ homes to harass them. A young officer came to my home, holding a stack of paper and said to me, “If you agree to stop practicing Falun Gong, I will remove your name from this blacklist and, from now on, we won’t look for you anymore.” I said firmly, “No need to look for me anymore. You don’t have to make useless attempts again!” He left without saying anything.
When I went out to clarify the truth, I noticed that the police were following me. With a hint from Master, I saw someone 100 meters away taking pictures of me. I arrived at the shopping mall and saw a couple of officers following me. I quickly informed other practitioners and asked them not to come to my home to avoid unnecessary losses.
But as time went by, I let my guard down. Someone came knocking on my door. When I opened it, three officers jumped inside. One of them grabbed me and pulled me aside, while the police chief began to ransack my home. They found my door key on the shoe cabinet and took it. They then took me to the police station. On the way, the police chief said, “You’ve been distributing the materials a lot. You are very brave. You even dared to distribute them near the police station.”
I said, “Those are for you officers to read. Dafa’s Master told us to also save you. They are your chance to be saved. If you read them and quit the CCP, then you will be saved.”
At the police station, they took me to the interrogation room. I refused to answer anything they asked. The police chief pointed at the words on the wall that read, “Leniency for confessing; punishment for resisting” and exclaimed, “See that?!” I replied, “That has nothing to do with me. I have not violated any laws or regulations.” In the end, they returned my key to me and let me go home.
I personally experienced all these tribulations, yet I remained safe. On the road of cultivation, I have stumbled along the way to arrive where I am today. Without Master’s protection, I would not have been able to make it through.
Thank you, Master for saving me, and thank you for your boundless compassion!
